BougeRV 12 Volt Refrigerator With 23 Quart Cover, 12V Car Fridge 23 Quart Portable Freezer Compressor Cooler Compressor Freezer, 12/24V DC 110~240V AC, -8℉~50℉ for Truck RV SUV

It has been close to a year since I purchased this Fridge, and I want to leave my honest review. I’ve been using the BougeRV 23qt since July 2024 for my Jeep Gladiator, and I can confidently say it has exceeded all expectations. I currently have a 50qt ARB fridge that I use on my off-road teardrop trailer. Comparing to this one to the ARB which is much more expensive, this compact fridge performs extremely well above its weight in performance, reliability, and value. **Cooling Performance:** This fridge cools down *fast*—within 15 to 20 minutes, it's already well below refrigeration temps. It consistently maintains temperature even in hotter climates and inside a warm car, which is more than I can say living in AZ, especially during the brutal summer months. I set the average temperature at 25 degrees and have no problems keeping it at that level daily. I have set the temperature at -5 degrees on a few occasions, and it has had no issues at all. **Efficiency:** What really surprised me is how energy-efficient it is. It draws very little power, making it perfect for my overlanding setup and road trips. I've run it for days off a small power station without worry. When the Jeep is not on the go, I have it plugged into my Jackery 500, setting the fridge at 25 degrees and using it constantly for a 6-8 hour period. It only consumed about 40% of the battery life. **Build Quality:** The unit is solidly built and better than I expected. The handle could be made deeper and I can see someone with much larger fingers having difficulty with it when lifting the fridge. The digital controls are intuitive and easy to use, and the LED display is clear even in bright light. It doesn't feel cheap at all—despite being significantly more affordable than top-tier brands. **Noise Level:** Very quiet. You’ll barely hear it running, which is a big plus if you’re sleeping in your vehicle or nearby. **Portability:** At 23 quarts, it's the perfect size for solo travel or weekend getaways. It holds more than you think, and the compact design means it fits easily in the backseat or trunk. **Final Thoughts:** The BougeRV 23Qt car fridge has worked tremendously well for my needs. It’s rare to find a product at this price point that can genuinely outperform some of the more expensive competition. Whether you're new to car camping or just looking for a reliable backup, this fridge is a smart buy and I highly recommend it. **The only areas of improvement that I can see are a drain when cleaning/washing, like my ARB fridge, and deeper handles that allow a better grip.

This is a very good travel refrigerator/freezer. Drops the temp very fast and once down to my target temp of 38f I set it on eco and it keeps everything cold. Best travel unit I've ever owned and it's very affordable as well. I did purchase the insulated cover which does help to keep things cold when the car is turned off. Light weight with nice carry straps makes for the perfect unit.

This unit has an excellent compressor that keeps your items COLD! Its controls are easy to use. It’s uses very little power, and is quiet when running. I got it on sale as a package with its own insulated cover, and it is the best value for money camping fridge I’ve seen! Get it before they’re gone!

For our trip North to South, we are not bringing our travel trailer. Mainly because of our late departure this year. To allow us to bring my medication that must remain refrigerated, I picked up a portable refrigerator that runs off the cars 12-volt system. After some research, I ended up with a BougeRV 23-quart refrigerator. It can maintain temps anywhere from -8° to 50° F, selectable to what you want. I set ours to 37° F. The storage compartment of the frig is 9.65 inches high by 9.84 inches wide and 13.78 inches long. This is all usable area. I purchased it with an insulated cover BougeRV also makes that helps maintain its temperature. When we are parked or spending the night at a hotel, the refrigerator will continue to run powered by a Harbor Fright Predator 350W portable power station. This station is small and very compact. It is rated at 294-watt hours and will keep the refrigerator powered for well over 24 hours. This surprised me. I was hoping for at least 8 hours, but 24 hours is fantastic! I should also mention how quiet it is. You can barely hear it. The insulating cover also adds to attenuating the sound. My only disappointment, some fruit drink containers are too tall to fit vertically. So, they must be laid down horizontally to fit. Half-gallon milk containers fit vertically. All in all, I really like this BougeRV 23-quart refrigerator. It does everything I hoped for and more.

It seems great in all aspects, including cooling speed and insulation, but it needs a strap to hold it in place because the box's anti-slip properties are questionable; it keeps shifting around.

Save $ buy now, you won't regret. Owned it for 1 month. We are living in the future. This is something I couldn't have dreamed of in a dk eyewitness book about the future in 2007. I feel like a pimp being able to keep an ice cold mini pantry in my service truck. I save so much money by not eating out, or buying ice. It's well made for $220, whisper quiet, and it cools so good I have icecicles in the box at 33 degrees. I would recommended plugging it into household power if you are gonna park your car for more than 8 hours even on eco mode. To refrigerate I would run the unit at 33 degrees on eco if outside temps are 60 fahrenheit and up. When you open the lid the temp rises and you can risk food bacteria growth. At 33 degrees it keeps a safety margin to ensure your food is safe to eat even if the cooler rises a few degrees. Indoors I would run it at 38. At 33 the temps dip to 28 when the compressor kicks off and the food and drink can get frozen. The run time depends on cabin temp and the reserve capacity/condition of your car's battery. I've set the cutoff voltage to medium and I haven't blown any fuses.

Works great and draws very little power. I have a Class B Motorhome that is all 12V and it doesn't even put a dent in my capacity yet keeps everything really as cold as I want it!

I love this! It’s helpful the car charger adapter is long enough to reach the front seat while the fridge/ freezer is in the backseat. I also like the ability to switch between fridge or freezer settings with the touch of a button.
